Shocks + BB using stock jack?
I have X model, and want to install rubicon shocks + Daystar 1.75" BB.
for lifting the car, can i do this with a simple stock jack that came with the car?
how difficult/unsafe is this approach?
thanks in advance.

There are some inexpensive floor jack/jack stand combos at any auto parts store/walmat/target/where ever. Much easier and safer than trying it with the stock scissor jack.
That said, I would recommend you go up a size or two from the least expensive set you find. It's all about safety when you're on your back under your jeep.

+1 on the floor jack.
Even a moderately priced floor jack will make working on your jeep cause far fewer curse words than using the stock scissors jack...and when you add a good pair of jack stands and some wheel chocks, it's also much, much safer.
